Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath has promised to oversee an upgrade of electrical infrastructure by T&TEC at the Mount St Benedict Monastery.
The line Minister for T&TEC added there would be a physical audit of the area to address issues such as non functional street lights and voltage regulations and capacity.
This follows a video in which Abbot John Pereira appealed for assistance to remove overgrown branches which caused sparking in overhead electrical wires and prompted fears of a possible fire.
T&TECT confirmed that its Chairman and other officials toured the grounds to get a “personal appreciation for the needs of the Abbey”.
